Explore the underwater world to 18m
70% of the world is water, you’ll be able to explore more of it
Over your elearning, discussions with your Instructor, pool session and four ocean dives, you will practice skills to ensure you can safely dive anywhere in the world to 18m in similar conditions. From safety aspects to fin technique, you’ll have the opportunity to practice it all and ask any questions along the way.
You can start the elearning before you arrive in Mauritius and focus on just the practical aspect while you’re here.
You’ll then be PADI Open Water Certified and able to dive to 18m anywhere in the world, in similar conditions, and with a dive buddy.
